42.答案B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段最后一句"If you are sitting at a table with people you don't know,it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them."可知,如果你和陌生人同桌,抽煙之前應(yīng)先征求對方的同意,判斷B項符合題意.

44.答案D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段If you can't finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later,ask your waitress or waiter for a"doggie bag"可知,吃不完的時候可以用doggie bag打包帶走.故選D.

46.答案D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)最后一段A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave.In some restaurants,a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there.Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change可知,小費可以在你離開的時候放在桌上,在一些餐館中,也可以放在服務(wù)員送來的盤子里.故D錯誤.
點評 報道類文章一般由標(biāo)題(Head line),導(dǎo)語(Introduction),背景(Back ground),主體(Main body)和結(jié)尾(End)五部分構(gòu)成.標(biāo)題是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括,但根據(jù)歷年的高考情況來看,這類閱讀理解材料一般不給標(biāo)題,而要同學(xué)們選擇標(biāo)題.導(dǎo)語一般位于整篇文章的首段.背景交待一個事實的起因.主體則對導(dǎo)語概括的事實進(jìn)行詳細(xì)敘述,這一部分命題往往最多,因此,閱讀時,同學(xué)們要把這部分作為重點.結(jié)尾往往也是中心思想的概括,并與導(dǎo)語相呼應(yīng),命題者常在此要設(shè)計一道推理判斷題.在進(jìn)行推理判斷時,同學(xué)們一定要以閱讀材料所提供的科學(xué)事實為依據(jù),同時所得出的結(jié)論還應(yīng)符合基本的科普常識.
